Here
he is - the man himself - sculptor Alan Lequire. Without him I and the
rest of the gilding crew would not be working on this project, because
there would be no big beautiful statue of the goddess Athena in the Parthenon.
In this picture Alan appears to be benignly gazing down at us from inside
the Parthenon ceiling; he's actually getting ready to drop some ropes
down that we can hook on to while we work.
